Rhetoric Researcher and Educator

I am affiliated docent in rhetoric at Södertörn University and affiliated researcher at the Department of Literature and Rhetoric, Uppsala University. I defended my thesis in 2019, in which I treated the history and concept of diplomacy since the French Revolution. Previously, I have been a visiting PhD fellow at l’École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, postdoctoral fellow at Université libre de Bruxelles, and junior resarcher at the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. I have received funding from for instance the Swedish Research Council’s International postdoc-programme and the Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies. Here you can find more information about ongoing and previous research projects.

Research

My research has, for the most part, been focusing on three topics: (i) the role of rhetoric within the political; (ii) the history and ideology of war and diplomacy; and (iii) the relationship between rhetoric, philosophy, and psychoanalysis. My latest book Diplomacy and Ideology: From the French Revolution to the Digital Age was published in the summer of 2020 by Routledge. My research has also been published in academic journals such as Filozofski vestnik, Philosophy & Rhetoric and Crisis & Critique. More information, links, and full texts of my publications are available here.

Besides my own research I also translate, mainly philosophy and rhetorical theory, from French and English into Swedish.

Teaching & Coaching

I help individuals and organizations speak with clarity, confidence, and impact. With years of experience designing and delivering courses in public speaking, rhetorical theory, and the intellectual history of persuasion, I’ve worked with everyone from beginners to advanced professionals. Regardless of anyone’s existing knowledge of rhetoric and persuasion, there is always something more to discover from its rich, thousands-year history.
